Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. 72 pages. Circa 1982-83. Perhaps the first book to be written by workers on the question of Canada's entering the second depression. Their dismay at finding another generation of young families faced with the same prospects of unemployment, has… prompted them to compile an outline of world and national development leading to recurring crises in private enterprise systems. The authors have used a historical materialist approach in attempting to make the history and background of depressions understandable to the average working class reader. Gift greetings inside front cover else clean and unmarked. Light wear. Very nice copy.

Hardcover. Zustand: VERY GOOD. First Edition. xii, 483pp. Sewn binding in red cloth hard covers with gilt-lettered spine and front cover. 16 B/W photos throughout. Tips worn. Owner's name and inscription to FFEP. Speckled ink stains to end papers and front matter. Small stain to back of front cover. 'This is a history of the evo…lution of financial power in the United States since 1900. It shows to what extent this vial power became concentrated, what sort of men wielded in, what instruments of conquest they used, and what were the economic and social effects of their preeminence in American life. In a sense the book is the story of Wall Street and all that it (and the other nuclei of financial power) represented. In another sense it is the story of the American upper class. In another, broader sense it is the story of the economic changes which led inevitably to the crash of 1929 and the lean years of the ninteen-thirties [sic]: the story of how we reached the plight we are now in.'.

First Edition. ALS, 18 lines (ca 75 words) on a single sheet of printed stationery, 10" x 7". Original mailing envelope included (unposted, addressed simply "Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt"). Printed return address has been elided on both stationery and envelope ("Beatrice Donley / Morgantown, WV"); mild toning and wear; envelope d…arkened - Very Good and complete. Mrs. Donley writes asking President Roosevelt to intervene in a pending foreclosure by the Second National Bank of Morgantown (WV). After listing her and her husbands assets, which include a large candy factory, she concludes, ".Please make some arrangements with the Receiver of the Bank Mrs. Cassidy, Morgantown W.Va. so I will have some place to live / Yours Truly / Mrs. O.O. Donley." The author's husband, Orris Otto Donley, a Morgantown businessman, appears in contemporary newspaper accounts as the perpetrator of an $80,000 embezzlement against his uncle's estate, a fact not mentioned in Mrs. Donley's letter. Millions of similar messages were sent by desperate citizens to the White House in the years of the Great Depression, often, as here, in a last-ditch attempt to forestall homelessness. A collection of such letters, edited by Robert McIlvaine, was published in 1986 by the University of North Carolina Press under the title Down and Out in the Great Depression: Letters from the Forgotten Man. Signed.

Varies. Thirty hand drawn political cartoons on different stocks of paper. Some have close margins. Some have wormholes or loss. A handful have margin tears. Size 18 x 14 Inches. A collection of 30 manuscript political cartoons, many with cartographic content, drawn by Frank 'Ket' Kettlewell for the Oakland Tribune . As a group,… they constitute a unique comic record of world events c. 1916 - 1935. Each hand-drawn cartoon is a visually striking San Francisco-centric commentary on domestic or international affairs. 'Ket' has signed each, with many most featuring his signature tiny bird (which occasionally comments). Themes and Events The earliest cartoons in the archive date to World War I (1914 - 1918). A handful discuss the U-boat threat. In one, a sea serpent labeled 'U-Boat' is composed entirely of submarines. Other cartoons deal with World War I and its aftermath. Still others focus on the Atlantic convoys, 'dislodging' the war in Belgium, the need for a west coast naval base, and the chaos in postwar Russia and Germany. 1920s themes include remembrances of WWI, domestic politics, and local Bay Area concerns, etc. Finally, six cartoons relate to the tense international situation in the 1930s, the Second Sino-Japanese War, and German President Paul von Hindenburg's (1847 - 1934) ongoing problems with the Nazi Party. Publication History and Census Each cartoon represents a unique work of art by Frank Kettlewell. Most were subsequently published in Oakland Tribune . Individual examples of Kettlewell's work appear on the market occasionally, but rarely large archives, as here. Signed by Author(s).
